Jonathan Goulet vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka at UFC 84

We now have confirmation of another Canadian fighter that’s been booked for the UFC’s first-ever show in Canada: Jonathan Goulet (21-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC).

The veteran fighter will take on Kuniyoshi Hironaka (11-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC 84, which is set for April 19 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Our Canadian friends at TKO Xtreme first broke news of the bout earlier today, and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) was able to confirm Goulet’s booking with a source close to the fighter.

The upcoming event, which will be officially announced at a Feb. 4 press conference in Montreal, features a main event between UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and interim champ Georges St. Pierre.

Goulet, who hails from Quebec, most recently defeated Paul Georgieff at The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale. The performance earned Goulet a new four-fight deal with the UFC.

The 28-year-old is a veteran of the Canadian fight scene, where he’s competed primarily in the popular TKO organization.

Hironaka, a 31-year-old Shooto vet, made his octagon debut at UFC 64 with a unanimous-decision loss to Jon Fitch. He then scored a decision victory over Forrest Petz in April before dropping a second-round TKO to Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night 11.
